Under the Mistletoe Series
Cruel Winter With You
by Ali Hazelwood
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

The Reindeer Falls Series
by Jana Aston
The Boss Who Stole Christmas
by Jana Aston
Holly Winter’s boss, Nick Saint-Croix is a Scrooge. Too bad he doesn’t look like one too because then it would be easier to hate him. Even if he is hot, all she’s asking for this Christmas is a new boss.
Jana Aston’s Reindeer Falls series is not to be missed and this is the first. I loved the perfect chemistry between Holly and Nick in an apparent, enemies to lovers romance.

Kane Christmas Series
My Fake Christmas Fiance
by Julie Kriss
Who knew that a company’s merger plans would force a marriage? The do-gooder may have agreed to marry the playboy by midnight on Christmas Eve, but all she’ll really agree to is a fake engagement.
They have absolutely nothing in common, so it’s just a business deal. It doesn’t matter that he’s her dream guy, right?
I absolutely loved how this book opened with emails back and forth between Wesley and Penny, which gave you a look into their true personalities and the start of a connection between two strangers. It’s the perfect start to this series of three novellas that center around a Christmas ornament factory.

Holiday Brothers Series
by Willa Nash
The Naughty, the Nice and the Nanny
by Willa Nash
Acting as the short-term nanny for a single dad should have been an easy way to make some extra cash. Only I’m stuck for one week in charge of a demon disguised as a seven-year-old girl whose father I crushed on in high school, billionaire Maddox Holiday.
Seven days with these two and attending the Holiday family’s annual soiree will be a nightmare. But I can do anything for a week, especially for this paycheck, even if it means wrangling the naughty, impressing the nice, and playing the nanny.
This novella kicks off a three book series by Devney Perry, writing as her alter ego Willa Nash.

Strawberry Hollow Series
by Maren Moore
The Mistletoe Bet
by Maren Moore
Everyone says “there’s no place like home”… well not for me. When I’m forced to spend the holidays at home with my family in Strawberry Hollow, I have no idea how I’m even going to survive the week, let alone make it through my least favorite holiday… Christmas.
That is until I run into my childhood crush, and my brother’s best friend, Parker Grant.
Now, he’s the hot, off-limits doctor in our small town, and nothing like the man I left behind six years ago.
While I hate the holidays, there is nothing that he loves more. Well, other than a good bet. Which is exactly what happens when we end up together under the mistletoe. A bet that changes everything.
He asks for the next seven days to change my mind about Christmas. But seven days alone with Parker is more than either of us bargained for. Now, there’s much more at stake than a silly mistletoe bet.

Kringle Family Christmas Series
The Grump Who Stole Christmas
by S. Doyle
That should be a good thing, right? Eggnog and Christmas carols. Mistletoe and family. Except my dad broke his leg hanging the family wreath. My brothers are at war over taking proper care of Dad. Oh, and I just found out our family business, the Kringle Inn, is failing!
The last thing I need is this mysterious new guy, who runs the Kringle tree farm, interfering. He’s big, bearded and grumpy. He wears a lot of flannel and he does NOT like taking orders. Especially from me.

Holidays in LA Series
by Kelly Reynolds
Meet Me in Los Feliz
by Kelly Reynolds
A California Christmas is all Nora’s ever known. She’s got everything she needs in Los Angeles – a flexible part-time nannying position, roommates who might as well be her family, and an acting career in the making. The last thing she’s looking for is a relationship. So why does this redheaded, dirty-talking Brit suddenly have her tinsel in a twist?
Bowie has a nasty habit of falling too hard, too quickly. When he finds himself suddenly single (yet again) just before the holidays, he decides to take his friends’ advice and try something new: a holiday fling. Seems easy enough until he meets Nora, the hypnotic, purple-haired goddess with curves for days, who just so happens to be his ex’s sister’s roommate.
She just wants something casual for Christmas. He doesn’t think he’ll be able to let her go come Boxing Day. Can they turn their naughty month together into something nice forever?

Holiday Hotties Series
by L.B. Dunbar
Scrooge-ish
by LB Dunbar
I hate Christmas. I don’t know who thought every female must love shopping, wrapping, baking, and hosting, but I’m missing the memo. On top of that, I manage a top-end department store. Sprinkle in the fact I’ll be turning forty during this holiday season, and my life is a Christmas cookie recipe gone wrong.
And every year I become a little more Scrooge-ish. But the spirit of the most wonderful time of the year (insert sarcasm) seems to have a plan for me and my midlife crisis attitude.
First, my past returns when I attend a high school reunion happy hour and run into that boy—the one I had a summer fling with after graduation and before college—then promptly ghosted me.
The torture continues because that boy is now a man, worldly and wise and hotter than I remember. And he invites me to attend a holiday work party with him.
Which leads to my discovery that there is a lot more to this forty, fine, former NFL quarterback, now fireman, like being a single father to the sweetest little girl, putting me at risk of falling for both of them.
However, I have my reasons not to believe in love and the happiest time of the year. And the first twenty-five days of December tests all my strength.
Just what the Dicken is happening? Charles himself might approve of this plot. Even I’m a little curious to see how it all plays out.

The Billionaires of Jingle Bell Junction Series
The Grumpy Billionaire Who Stole Christmas
by Erin McCarthy & Lili Valente
I’m a grump and proud of it. I hate forced cheer, pointless traditions, and the fact that everything in Jingle Bell Junction reminds me of my lonely teen years.
Which is why I decide to steal the town’s ridiculous Christmas tree topper and burn the peg leg—yes, a peg leg. I’ll be doing the town a favor by making Jingle Hell a slightly less embarrassing place to spend the holidays.
Then, sweet, generous, sunshine-y Holly Jo catches me in the act. Holly, whose smile has always melted my icy heart. Even when we were kids.
She ropes me into baking dog treats with her to make amends, when the power goes out and we’re snowed in together for the night. Add in one roaring fire, an unexpectedly hot reindeer costume, and some whipped cream, and suddenly my trip to Jingle Hell is turning into Jingle Hell Yeah…
But what happens when one night with this woman isn’t nearly enough?

Windy City Holidates Series
by Nichole Greene
Screwing Mr. Scrooge
by Nichole Greene
I thought I was thawing the icy exterior of Asher Bennet, turns out, he was melting mine.
Asher Bennett, my new boss for the holiday season, is a billionaire CEO who looks like a movie star and acts like a scrooge. He’s grumpy, uptight, and entirely too serious. But the worst part of all is that he is taking up far too much space in my mind. I’d prefer to stay in my safe zone, help the community where I can, and leave work at work. But this job is forcing us together and the closer we get, the harder he is to resist.
Clara Snow is over-the-top, a mystery wrapped in tacky Christmas packaging. My newest employee, full of sunshine, has kept me on my toes from the moment we met. Every smile she gives me chips away at the walls I’ve built around myself. But I have a company to run and that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
The problem is, her warmth is inescapable even on the coldest winter night.
